About Jackie

I am a 30-something SAHM with two adorable boys and a supportive husband who is very tolerant of my reading addiction. I love to read and easily go through about a dozen books a month – well I did before I had kids. Now, not so much. After my first son was born, I began to take my hobby of reviewing a little more serious and started Literary Escapism to help with my sanity. I love to discuss the fabulous novels I’ve read and meeting all the wonderful people in the book blogging community has been amazing.

We Want To Know…What Are You Reading?

10 January 2018 Jackie 2

I could go on about what I’ve been reading, or realistically how I have not read anything, but I’m more curious to know – what are you reading? Have you found something different? Something new? Something fantastical?  What are you looking forward to releasing this month? In February? In 2018? What new […]
